That's odd that it was their affiliates doing the deceiving advertising and not them as a company. That's like saying if I didn't like a company, I went to their affiliate program, promoted it in a deceiving manner and then reported them countless times for that. Then they would be fined for what their affiliates did? I didn't read the entire article, but that's what I take from what I just read. Interesting and a bit unfair from my understand of this.

Funny how they are singling out Clickbooth when every review site out there for every affiliate product could be held responsible for the same tactics. Eg, all those affiliate pushing product like Acai Berry, African Mango by Markethealth which we all know dont work.

I find this very interesting too, and I was thinking the same.
However, I am under the impression that:

According to the commission, the defendants recruited affiliate marketers to advertise the merchants' so-called weight loss products online. Clickbooth then monitored the ads that its affiliates used, suggested certain claims for the affiliates to make, and even designed some websites for the affiliates to use, according to the complaint.

So in another words, the network is responsible to monitor and guide affiliates to the right direction - otherwise they held all responsibilities?
